Brain & Mental Health Art Show

Since 2010, the Brain and Mental Health Art Show has been an annual event that brings together the scientific and mental health communities in Ottawa through art in support of a wonderful local charity.

This year, proceeds will benefit CAPSA, a national non-profit organization leading the charge to dismantle systemic stigma and advance Substance Use Health for all people. CAPSA created All People, All Pathways, the most low-barrier, inclusive peer support group for substance use; a reflection of their core commitment to health, however that looks for each person, with compassion and dignity. Led by a team of educators, researchers, and policy experts who bring both professional expertise and lived experience, CAPSA works to eliminate stigma, promote equity, and foster meaningful change through evidence-based education, research, and co-design.
